I honestly can't relate, I come from Australia and we have strong workers rights, http://www.fairwork.gov.au
Unions baby, the 8/5/40 full time work week was a result of Australian union activity and is now a standard for full time employment in most of the developed world.
But rights cost lives so eventually that's what the US population has to be willing to spend to buy their freedoms from their capitalist owners, that's real capitalism.
You'll get there, your population just needs to be uncomfortable enough that the cost can be justified, that's the real free market.
